Pedro Pascal takes on the role of Mister Fantastic
One of the first names to be confirmed in the cast of Avengers: Secret War was Pedro Pascal as the intelligent scientist Reed Richards, leader of the Fantastic Four. This will be the character's second appearance in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, since in Multiverse of Madness we can see John Krasinski in the role of one of his variants.
Pascal is one of the best-loved actors of the moment, having been cast in major films such as The Last of Us and The Mandalorian. He also had a small role in Game of Thrones, another very successful series. His casting as Richards was very well received by Marvel fans who believe that the character is a good fit for the actor, who has yet to win an Oscar. Still, who knows, maybe he'll get one in the near future?
Vanessa Kirby plays the Invisible Woman.
The other cast member for Avengers: Secret War to be announced was Vanessa Kirby in the role of Sue Storm, the Invisible Woman from the Fantastic Four. Two other actresses have played the role before, Jessica Alba and Kate Mara, but now the mantle of Invisible Woman has been passed into the hands of Kirby, who takes on the responsibility with the blessing of the fans.
The actress has already received an Oscar nomination for her performance as the character Martha in Pieces of a Woman, and has also worked on franchises such as Mission Impossible and Fast and Furious. Kirby's CV suggests that she is the right choice for the role of Sue who, it seems, will be the protagonist of the Fantastic Four film that is scheduled to be released in 2025, before Secret Wars.
Joseph Quinn as the bearer of the human torch.
Playing Johnny Storm in the cast of Avengers: Secret War is Joseph Quinn. Human Torch is Sue Storm's brother and has pyrotechnic powers that make him one of the strongest members of the group. And his good humor also makes him the funniest character.
Joseph Quinn came to prominence in the media when he took part in the Netflix series Stranger Things as the character Eddie. He can also be found in films such as A Quiet Place: Day One and Gladiator 2, the latter of which is scheduled for release in November 2024. His talent in the works he has appeared in shows that the actor could be an excellent choice for the irreverent role of Johnn Storm and fans have welcomed the idea of him as the character.
Ebon Moss-Bacharach plays The Thing.
During the 2024 San Diego Comic Con, actor Ebon Moss-Bacharach was confirmed in the cast of Avengers: Secret War as the character Ben Grimm, the Thing from the Fantastic Four. Basically the hero made of stone who possesses great strength and endurance, but is very reluctant to accept himself due to his monstrous appearance.
The actor is an excellent professional and there is no doubt that he will do a good job as the Thing. He already has an Emmy for his performance as Richie in the movie The Bear. In addition to that role, he also made an appearance in the Punisher series and was also in the movie What Time Do I Get You? released in 2023. An actor with a solid and promising career who has not escaped Marvel's sights due to his talent.
Robert Downey Jr. as Doctor Fate
The casting announcement for Avengers: Secret War surprised everyone: Robert Downey Jr as Doctor Doom. It was unexpected because this same actor brought Iron Man to life throughout the Infinity Saga in the MCU and many thought he wouldn't return to Marvel films, but everyone was quite wrong.
Downy Jr has already won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Oppenheimer (2023) as Lewis Strauss. His performance is already well known to fans of comics and cinema as a whole, so there's no doubt that he'll do a good job. The question that remains is how he will be inserted back into the MCU as another character after Iron Man's demise. Well, we'll find out in 2027!
